So, monday was my due date. I was really really not happy about the propect of going to work and maybe working for another week. Sunday night to make me feel better DH googled natural ways to induce labor. The one he was most amazed by was nipple tweaking. We went to bed and DH kept working my nipples. It lead to lots of laughs and eventually doing the deed. 
( I only give these details bc who knows the combo may have worked)
So Monday morning I wake up for work and start getting ready. I had more discharge than usual and a little blood but didn't really think anything of it because of the sex.
Got to work. Got a million "oh you are still here's". Worked at my desk for like an hour. I stood up around 9-9:15 to get something from the printer and felt a gush of fluid. I had the mental moment of "maybe I just peed?" Went to the bathroom and it didn't smell like pee. Came back to my désk and called the docs office. They said head to the hospital. Called DH and told my office manager what was happening.
DH and I got the labor and delivery. I was checked and confirmed that my water broke. I was contracting but there was no rhyme or reason to them just random. I was put in a room. About an hour after we got there I was started on pitocin to get things moving. Parents arrived etc. I was checked about an hour later and had gotten to 3 almost 4 cm. Then the contractions started to get BAD. Kicked the parents out and told DH. Tell them I want fhe epidural. About a 1/2 hour later I got it. Labor progressed from there. Everyone came back in and we all just kind of hung out since I was feeling good. About 8:30 the nurse checked me and I was at 10.
Everyone left for the waiting room. I started some practice pushes with the nurse.
Side story. DH is a nurse. He had never gotten to see a vaginal delivery in his clinical rotations.
As I was practice pushing and waiting for the doc -- the nurse told DH ok we are going to stop there since I was almost pushing her out. He asked really --
She told him look. I hear - holy shit! That's her hair not pubic hair! Lol!
Doc came in and with another 15-20 mins of pushing, Quinn Elizabeth arrived at 9:13 pm. We went skin to skin for about an 15 mins. As she got checked out, I got stitched. I had a small tear on the back end and a larger one on the front.
And that is how miss Quinn arrived.
I want to post a pic but am working from phone and Safari so I don't get the option to.
